Step 1 - Gather all Materials

You will need the following materials.

5" x 5" piece of thick cardboard or wooden block
Black Sharpie
White Glue
Q-Tip
Outline of Inukshuk figure
Brown sand
Colored sand (or white sand colored with food coloring - 4 colors)
optional: Modge Podge

Step 2 - Trace outline of Inukshuk

Using an outline figure of an Inukshuk, trace the figure onto the cardboard or wooden square. Once I trace the outline
of the Inukshuk onto the wooden square, I then fill in the inside with thicker lines so the children can not have the
"rock" pieces touching each other just as it is shown in the picture. I like to draw three horizontal wavy lines in the background to resemble the "Northern Lights".

Step 3 - Fill in Inukshuk

Using the White Glue and Q-Tip have students cover the inside area of the Inukshuk with White Glue. Once the Inukshuk is covered have the students gently cover the wooden piece with brown or white sand. Hint: The area must
be completely covered in White Glue in order for the sand to fill in all the spaces...this is something I have to stress...since most kids are taught to use only a "little bit" of glue. Let dry before moving on to next step.

Step 4 - Fill in first and third space with colored sand

After your Inukshuk is dry have the students completely cover the first or top section with White Glue and then
colored sand. Continue on to the third area with a different color of sand.
Hint: try and keep the colors from not touching each other since the sand is still wet and the colors will combine.
You could do each section separate (allowing the first to dry before moving onto the second color) but that might
take a long time to complete the project
